TUITION PAYMENT PLAN

Musicians Institute offers to all students a tuition and fees payment plan that divides the total cost of enrollment, tuition and fees without interest, for one quarter of study into three equal payments.  Students will receive the invoice for their quarter of study two weeks before the first day of the quarter.  Tuition and fees can be paid in two or three equal installments, with the first payment being due on the first day of scheduled classes, Monday of week one of the quarter.

Payment plans are created as follows.  Dates can be adjusted by the Student Billing department to meet the student’s specific needs, however, adjustments need to be requested before the first payment is due.  Plan due dates can vary from quarter to quarter.    

Three installment plan:

  • First payment due on or before Monday of week one with a five day grace period.  The first payment must be made in full by Friday of week one.  If the payment isn’t made by Wednesday of week two, a hold will be placed on the student account.  
  • Second payment due on or before Monday of week five.  If the payment isn’t made by Friday of week five, a hold will be placed on the student account.
  • Third and final payment due on Monday of week ten.  If the payment isn’t made by Thursday of week ten, a hold will be placed on the student account.

Two installment plan:

  • First payment due on or before Monday of week one with a five day grace period.  The first payment must be made in full by Friday of week one.  If the payment isn’t made by Wednesday of week two, a hold will be placed on the student account. 
  • Second and final payment due on or before Wednesday of week five, one month after the initial payment.  If the payment isn’t made by Friday of week five, a hold will be placed on the student account. 

A “hold” placed on a student account will result in the MI Hollywood student’s ID badge being flagged upon scanning, preventing them from entering the campus.  MI Online students will be denied access to the learning management system (LMS) should a “hold” be placed on their account, preventing them from attending their online class meetings and accessing course materials held within the LMS.  All “holds” on student accounts are lifted once tuition and fees payments that are due have been paid via the Billing office.    

Debit and credit cards can be placed on automatic payment for the agreed upon dates for the convenience of students and/or parents.

Payment plans must be established at the beginning of each quarter of enrollment; they do not rollover into the following quarter, nor do auto payments continue into a subsequent quarter.

Payment plans must be paid in full before a student can continue in a subsequent quarter of study.

For Federal Financial Aid students whose payment is pending, they must make a payment of $150 by no later than Monday of week three to ensure their commitment to beginning / continuing their program.

Checks returned for non-payment will result in the student account being assessed a $25 service fee.

Students who have graduated, been terminated, or have withdrawn with outstanding balances will be notified of the risk of their account being sent to a collection agency.
